Transfer Auger by CLEMENTE

The Clemente Transfer Auger streamlines material handling by providing a continuous, controlled flow of olives, pomace, or other bulk materials between stages of production. Its helical screw design ensures even distribution and prevents clogging or backflow during operation.

Unlike traditional conveyors, the auger offers precision material transport with minimal spillage, which is critical in maintaining hygiene and process consistency. The gear-motor-driven spiral provides smooth, variable-speed operation for optimised flow rates, while the option of AISI 304 stainless steel or powder-coated FE steel construction guarantees corrosion resistance and food-grade durability.

This combination of performance and hygiene makes it ideal for olive mills and food facilities where efficient, automated movement of product is essential to reduce labour and improve throughput.

Customisable Feature	Available Options / Configuration	Operational Benefit
Length, Diameter, and Capacity	Custom-built according to production volume and plant layout requirements.	Ensures optimal flow rate and seamless integration with upstream/downstream equipment.
Material Construction	AISI 304 stainless steel for food-grade use, or powder-coated FE steel for general applications.	Provides corrosion resistance and structural strength tailored to operating conditions.
Configuration Type	Closed-tube or open U-profile auger systems with inspection covers.	Allows easy cleaning, visual inspection, and compliance with hygiene standards.
Inlet & Outlet Design	Variable-dimension hopper and unloading mouth adapted to system connections.	Provides efficient feeding and discharge with minimal spillage or blockages.
Drive System	Helical spiral directly coupled to the electric gear motor (custom-rated power output).	Delivers smooth, consistent torque and reliable performance under variable loads.

​The Transfer Auger is fully custom-engineered to meet the physical constraints and operational requirements of each facility. Its modular design allows seamless adaptation to different materials (wet or dry), plant layouts, and automation systems, ensuring maximum process flexibility.

The Transfer Auger is built with easy-access covers and smooth internal surfaces, simplifying cleaning and inspection between production runs. The U-profile configuration allows direct visual inspection of the screw and trough, while closed-tube models include hinged inspection panels and optional wash ports for water or sanitiser cleaning.

Because the auger is fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel, it resists corrosion and adheres to food-contact safety standards, making it suitable for continuous use in olive and food-processing environments. Routine maintenance involves checking the gear motor and bearings, ensuring that seals remain tight and free of material buildup.

This design minimises downtime and guarantees reliable, hygienic operation across multiple production cycles.
